Biking at 2500 meters

When I first arrived into Iten it was raining everyday. The Kenyans at the HATC kept shaking their heads in despair. They assured me that this was not normal, was unseasonably cold and would pass eventually. They told me that “normally” there was sunshine everyday. Lucky for me they were right. Everyday for the past two weeks has been beautiful sunshine. I have long forgotten the mud that stuck to everything and about venturing out into the rain as I braved another ride descending long hills. All I can say is thank-goodness I have a brilliant sponsor in Specialized who set me up with a Crux. It is sturdy, ready for mud, bumps and a whole lot of rough riding.
